In our clinic, surgical procedures are performed on patients with metastatic or primary lesions of the liver that are suitable for surgery, using an ultrasonic dissector (CUSA) and, if necessary, intraoperative ultrasonography for regular resections or metastasectomies. Additionally, in selected cases, intraoperative or percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation may be applied.

The gallbladder is located on the underside of the liver, in contact with it. It is responsible for storing bile produced by the liver. Especially when fatty foods pass from the stomach to the duodenum, it contracts and releases the stored bile into the intestine. Bile secretion helps digest the food we eat, along with pancreatic secretions. Various diseases can occur in the gallbladder, with the most common being stones. Gallstones can remain silent for a long time without any symptoms, but sometimes they can cause complaints such as pain in the upper right abdomen radiating to the shoulder blades, nausea, vomiting, especially indigestion and bloating after consuming fatty foods. Gallstones can be recognized during gallbladder inflammation or when they fall into the main bile duct and block it. In gallbladder inflammation, pain in the upper right abdomen, fever, chills, and shivering attacks are typical. Especially millimeter-sized stones can pass into the main bile duct, leading to jaundice, cholangitis (inflammation of the bile duct), or pancreatitis. In this case, patients may experience jaundice, darkening of urine, and lightening of stool color. Nowadays, gallbladder surgeries are performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive) in patients with an indication for surgery.
